Ingredients:

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (approximately 250g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (56g)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (226g)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (67g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped Oreos (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Grease a muffin tin or line with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped Oreos if using.
  5. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers jiggle slightly.
  7. Allow the bites to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  8. Carefully remove from the muffin pan and serve chilled.
